    Before dumping money into airbags, LDH, gears, tunes, etc....I would load up the trailer and see how it does stock. Ensure proper tongue weight and go have fun. It won’t be your Ram, but I’m betting it will be just fine for that little load.

    I decided to have the Nitro 488 gears installed. I towed my 14x7 Look enclosed trailer with my 2016 RZR XP Turbo i it for 275 miles each way. The power was fine. I could go up any grade at 70mph. The gas mileage was less that desirable though. I was expecting better...between 8 and 9 mpg. I can tell you that I love the way it feels now...like it should. It takes off great, shifts like it should and feels like it has so much more power. I also installed a throttle sensitivity gismo on it. Feels so good at take off with the trailer hooked up. Oh and I forgot to mention that I ordered the firestone air bag kit and installed it as well before we left on our trip. Keeps it nice and level.
